It’s important to know you’re at risk for injuries such as:

Slipping, falling, or tripping

Straining your muscles

Being hit by a falling object

Motor Vehicle Accident

Car accidents are unfortunately common occurrences. How your body is affected after an accident can vary widely, with some people experiencing no physical damage while others may face critical injuries. In addition, the damage can take place anywhere on the body from the head to the extremities.

When a patient is feeling any kind of discomfort following a car accident, it is essential to seek medical care. In some cases, however, the shock and trauma of the accident can cause the body to release chemicals that delay the sensation of pain until later in the day or the following day. If that happens, visit the doctor at any point at which symptoms begin.

Symptoms that should receive medical attention following an automobile accident may include:

dizziness

vomiting or nausea

headache

difficulty concentrating

numbness or weakness

tenderness in a particular area

limited range of motion

blurred vision

fatigue

The doctor will take a medical history, ask questions about the accident and perform a physical examination. Depending on the part of the body that is injured, an X-ray may be taken to assess whether any bones were broken. A treatment plan can be determined after the doctor has all of the necessary information to make an accurate diagnosis.
